Market Analysis

Led by the life insurance sector, the insurance industry in Poland is growing rapidly. Total life insurance premium in the country amounted to PLN 21 Billion in 2006. The non-life sector, on the other hand, grew more slowly, with total premiums in 2006 posting a rise of 4.85% in 2006 over a year earlier.

Insurance companies in Poland are either state-owned or private, and many are under control of international insurers. The country has some combined banking/insurance groups also, but they have yet to play a significant role in the Polish insurance market. The Polish insurance law restricts companies to sell both life and general insurance that has prompted most general insurance firms to establish separate life subsidiaries. Despite the entry of many foreign companies, public sector insurance companies still dominate the Poland’s insurance market.
